Just like fans, Reds third-base coach J.R. House said the outs at the plate always stick in his mind more than the close plays that result in runs.
House regretted his decision to wave Eugenio Suárez to the plate in the third inning Monday on a line-drive single to left field. Suárez was thrown out at the plate by at least 10 feet by San Diego Padres left fielder Josh Naylor.
